Packers Vs. Buccaneersby MoPack626 - 155 cards (Last updated on May 26, 2021) |
This is another list of cards that feature a Packer player with a common foe. This time I selected the Buccaneers because they were at one point in the same division as the Packers--the old NFC Central. I also created this after creating my Packers-Lions list; I originally thought that my Packers-Lions list would be significantly longer than my Packers-Bucs list. I was wrong by a long shot. In fact out of the all the division opponents from the NFC central (and now NFC North), there were more than the other three (Bears, Vikings, and Lions). I'm unsure why, but I have on particular theory: warm, sunny weather makes for great photos and a very attractive place to live and work. This is even more apparent when we'll see an AFC opponent commonly featuring Packers, more so than usual at least. That's what I think, but what do you think?
My final comments on this list are on the high frequency of Reggie White showing up on these cards (24 in total). This one baffles me even more than the above; why did the card companies think that it would be a good idea to feature Reggie in an image with a Buccaneer? Any guesses?

1. 1987 Green Bay Packers Police - Brown County Arson Task Force #25-25 Mark Cannon
One of the earliest examples for this list. The most visible Bucs, however, are on the sideline wearing that ugly Creamsicle orange. |
6. 1991 Green Bay Packers Police - Horicon Police Department #17 Ed West
Another example of Bucs on the sidelines in that infamous Creamsicle orange. The color combination for the team name was very ironic. |
